"I would love to learn how to make pendents and rings. As I see them on pinterest for instance, the look gorgeous. I just have had no time to start to learn how to make them."

Thank you Gail, so far I'm having trouble just posting pictures and knowing where to put all the info about them!  :)

Thanks for the welcome and info!  I remember seeing some of your lovely patterns in Bead Patterns Magazine and I'll certainly check out your videos. I'll post some pics of my work once I get my husband, the photographer, to take them - I've been bugging him for weeks, so next step is threatening to steal one of his cameras!

Thank you for the warm welcome Gail. There is a ton of useful information in your post and I'm definitely going to check everything out. I had no idea there were tutorials and such on the site. Thanks for the tip.

I am still getting used to the way this forum is set up. So, I thought I would just "reply" and it seems to be working, lol. OK, here is one of the first bracelets I've done. I gave it to my sister. I have to laugh because you can see the thread on the sides. Ugh.

I got interested in beading with cabochons. This is a cabochon set I made out of polymer clay.

 OK, this is the very last piece I did. It's a present for my sister. I just sent it to her for her birthday.

This is the very first time I've worked with a ravioli. It was definitely a challenge.

Thank you for the welcome. I feel a bit out of place since I have only been beading for about 6 months. Not sure if I belong :) I will upload some photos of what I've done so far.
